Polybius (born ca. 208 BCE) of Megalopolis in the Peloponnese (Morea), served the Achaean League in arms and diplomacy for many years, favouring alliance with Rome. From 168 to 151 he was hostage in Rome where he became a friend of Aemilius Paulus and his two sons, and especially adopted Scipio Aemilianus whose campaigns he attended later. In late life he was trusted mediator between Greece and the Romans whom he admired; helped in the discussions which preceded the final war with Carthage; and, after 146, was entrusted by the Romans with details of administration in Greece. He died at the age of 82 after a fall from his horse.
The main part of Polybius's history covers the years 264–146 BCE. It describes the rise of Rome to the destruction of Carthage and the domination of Greece by Rome. It is a great work, accurate, thoughtful, largely impartial, based on research, full of insight into customs, institutions, geography, causes of events and character of people; it is a vital achievement of first rate importance, despite the incomplete state in which all but the first five of the forty books have reached us. Polybius's overall theme is how and why the Romans spread their power as they did.
The Loeb Classical Library edition of Polybius is in six volumes.
波裏比阿,古希臘曆史學傢。公元前168年因政治立場可疑,被羈留在羅馬十七年,成為“非洲徵服者”小西庇阿(Scipio Aemilianus)的導師與密友,並成為羅馬上層社會的一員。
公元前151年,小西庇阿帶他去西班牙和非洲,親眼目睹瞭迦太基的毀滅。因此波裏比阿有機會親身經曆那個時代最重要的軍事及政治事件,這為他的曆史著作提供瞭第一手的資料。
譯者翁嘉聲,颱灣成功大學曆史係專任教授,專業領域為希臘羅馬古典文明以及古代教會史。
上海三联本想出波里比阿的《通史》译本,现在也没有任何结果。希望有出版社引进,出简体字版。译者曾在英国念古典学的博士。

評分混合政体,让罗马跳出了政体蜕变的历史循环。 什么是政体蜕变的历史循环呢?原来,波里比阿为了解释混合政体的优势,创造出了一种政体循环理论。简单来说,就是政体的产生和更替不是随机性、偶然性的,而是遵循一个闭合的循环规律。 那我们就来看看这个循环规律是怎么回事。波...
